Always and Forever - SUO Challenges # 239

The challenge at SUO this time is "Designer's Choice" which means its up to me to decide what to create.
Over the holidays I had some time to play with the Heritage Dies and Embossing Folders while making samples of the new stamp sets in the upcoming Mini Catalogue.

I combined the "Forever Blossoms" stamp sets with the Heritage Die and Embossing Folder to make this Anniversary Card.



The card base of Highland Heather card stock is layered with Petal Pink card stock embossed with the Parisian 3D Embossing Folder. A 1/8" strip of gold foil was added to each side of the embossed piece.

In the center is adhered (with dimensionals) a gold foil rectangle first die cut with the Heritage Die and then embossed with the Heritage embossing folder. In the center of this is a piece of Lily Impressions DSP slightly larger than the opening.

The flowers, from "Forever Blossoms"were  coloured with Highland Heather Stampin' Blends; the leaves and stems with Granny Apple Green after which they were die cut with the           die.  The centers were coloured with Daffodil Delight after which some tiny yellow beads were added with an adhesive. Glitter Crystal Effects applied to the flowers make them pop.

These flowers were adhered on this embossed frame using dimensionals as indicated in the picture.




An extra flower and leaf was added to the upper right frame.

The gold embossed sentiment, die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly die, is added to the card frame with dimensionals.   Champagne rhinestones were added to the die cut piece.


A double bow made with the 3/8" metallic edged Petal Pink ribbon was added to the lower  left embossed frame.
